Disney isnt my thing...lacks the thrills i enjoy at a theme park..it has amazing technology(such as soarin) and when any park tries to match it it ends up as a piece of crap

This. Sadly, I feel some of these Eisteins here are going to attempt to duplicate more than just Soarin'.

Disney has plenty of thrills but they are scattered over several parks. As someone who usually stay on-site at Disney 3/4 times a year I will be the first to say that others can achieve Disney level theme and quality. Ever heard of The Boy Who Lived? Case closed. All in the means provided and disposable capital at hand. Either way this is not the thread to discuss other's and how they can or cannot duplicate a DIS attraction.
What i mean is that eita is a failure to copy soarin, but lets get back on topic. I for one believe ethier 2012 or 2013 will be eita's final year. Im not sure what will replace it. Anything will be an improvement. Maybe corkscrew hill returns? Eita is simpley an attraction that has failed...this happens to all parks. bgw just needs to accept that and move on by making a new atttraction there. I havent been in ireland since hos, so it is a dead zone for me with eita there.
What would you prefer 1 season of corkscrew while bgw plans out something new or have eita there
RE: Escape From Pompeii
I've ridden EitA several times each year and four times this week. I'm a tourist, yes, but I'm hardly an infrequent visitor or a first time visitor. I just simply disagree with most of you. I understand and accept the theme of leaving a castle in a magical sled and touring Europe in a few minutes, so I don't have a problem with the queue or the setup of the ride's theme. I don't find the movement of the ride unsettling, but some of the lateral shaking is unnecessary though not uncomfortable. The clarity of the picture is not perfect, but it's ok. I like the score, and I wish the voiceover was not added or had been done differently so as not to distract from the score and the experience. The ride does not make me feel nauseous, and I find the simulated experience rather enjoyable. As for not having a strong story or emotional attachment like Corkscrew Hill, I disagree here also. It's not a story with a strong plot, but it's a strong theme and setting that gives me a sense of excitement much like Soarin Over California. I find it to be a less elaborate version of Soarin , but not as strongly inferior as you guys do.
I may be alone on this board, but my family enjoys the ride and feels as I do, and, on two of my rides this week, the general public applauded with enthusiasm at the end of the ride, so I don't feel alone outside of this board. The queue was never long, but the ride was always full or nearly full. That was the same situation on most of the coasters except for Verbolton, so I'm not sure that speaks for its popularity. I could say that Apollo's Chariot, Griffen, or Alpengeist are not popular because we almost were able to walk on most of the time this week.
I'm happy that it's the last attraction I experienced last night before ending my stay and watching the fireworks again. It's ok for others here to disagree with me, but I'm satisfied with my feelings for EitA.
Actually, I'm not a local, but I've traveled 700 miles to visit BGW every year for the past 20 years. We usually visit BGW and WCUSA for 4-5 days. I've experienced Questor, that King Arthur thing (I forgot the proper name), Corkscrew Hill, and now Europe In the Air. I've also experienced Soarin and Soarin Over California at both Epcot and California Adventure.destroyer421 said:

I am not a traitor, I have always enjoyed it. There are things I agree on and disagree on. That is life.
I think a flight of fear type coaster should go here. Europe in the air is the stupidest thing I've ever seen
You know what im thinking, maby a dark ride will replace it because the building seems to be big enough
nothing is really wrong with the mechanical part of the ride. It has a lame story now and nausea inducing motion programmed in. Another corkscrew hill like ride would be welcomed.
The the eita building is way too small for an indoor coaster flight of fears building is bigger than you think. The biggest thing EITA,s building is ever gonna hold is another simulater or a small dark ride
Eita's simulater system is anchaint and whatever replaces EITA will have an updated simulater system
Eita's simulater system is anchaint and whatever replaces EITA will have an updated simulater system
I never rode corckscrew hill before, i didnt know what it was 4 years ago so i didnt pay any attention to it

When was FoF brought up in this thread?
Don't rule out a dark ride / roller coaster that goes in and out of the building. Gerstlauer is famous for pulling that card and still making compact roller coasters.
